IntroductionInovaSure is a proud partner to the South African LiveSure Living Security
"Ensurance" and Technology Company. As an enabler, InovaSure has developed
unique and innovative bolt-on Protection, Warranty and “Ensurance” Services
for the Municipal and Commercial Community in South Africa (and abroad).
InovaSure's core offering is the InovaSure Real Time Multidimensional Energy
Management System (RMEMS), also known as the "Energy Vault", which
provides the backbone to Energy Security Products and Services that we
believe will power the new dawn of Energy Efficiency and Storage in Africa.
InovaSure, as a Master Licensor to global operators, has appointed InovaSure
(SA) as the Master Licensee for all its operations in South Africa and
surrounding African jurisdictions, operating from Johannesburg, George and
Stellenbosch.
InovaSure (Australia) operates independently out of Perth, also as a Master
Licensee, as do various other InovaSure Master Licensees as part of its global
roll out process.
InovaSure (SA)'s "Ensurance" package consists of bolt-on, Protection Plan and
Warranty Products which are custom designed and linked to the LiveSure
Trusted Centre ("LTC") for cost-effectiveness, sustainability, resilience,
relevance and accountability.
Sustainable living security is our business
Sustainable living security is our business
We generate our underwriting ability in a self-sustaining manner from
"ensurance" plans to service level agreements. Our Seal of Excellence
represents our promise to authenticate and secure our products and services
with corporate governance and to strive for service excellence in all aspects.
The InovaSure RMEMS (Energy Vault) is effectively a large UPS (Uninterrupted
Power Supply) and receives Renewable Energy and Eskom power during off-
peak times of the day and introduces it back into the distribution network of
participating Municipalities during peak times. InovaSure augments the
process of energy conservation and mitigation by means of integrated
Renewable Energy generation resources, which are powered by means of
multiple collaborative agreements with network partners in the fields of
Renewable Energy, disruptive technologies and other innovative forms of
energy generation, storage and management.
Seal of Excellence

Goals and Objectives
Sustainable living security is our business
Management Team
Jaco, a Founder Member of LiveSure and
InovaSure, completed his Mechanical
Engineering studies in Pretoria, South
Africa, whilst in the employ of the South
African Air force. He was seconded to the
CSIR and conducted specialized research
in the field of Material Science and
Technology.
The South Africa Business Exchange
evolved from the engineering business,
changing focus to information technology
with the aim to develop "thin client"
technology, which has only recently
become popular as cloud computing.
Jaco founded SGL Power to pursue power generation in Africa after early
identifying the imminent energy shortages. SGL Power successfully obtained
several licenses to produce power in Africa. The complexities of the
regulatory environment as well as the funding limitations associated with
power generation compelled him, in conjunction with like-minded
individuals, to start an innovative "Living Security" company – InovaSure - to
promote financial services products and services to be deployed for the
benefit of independent power producers as well as bulk buyers in Africa -
including the Municipalities, local authorities, Special Economic Zones,
towns, cities and villages of the continent.

Ensuring Living Security
OperationsThe core of InovaSure's operations and the basis on which our Energy Security
services and warranties are issued and provided is our Trusted Centre (TC). We
create “ensurability” through a process to enhance the profitability of the
"trade cycle". All governance matters are dealt within the TC on the basis of
transparency and the use of tools such as "internet of things/everything"
applications, real time funds tracking, a bio - metrics bank, secure
communication, external audits, ISO standard procedures and suchlike which
are top of the priority list in the TC.
Insurance wrapping of the Trusted Centre process is also carried out by
InovaSure and apart from the governance and compliance benefits, the net
effect is that it brings down transactional cost dramatically in supplying the
LiveSure and InovaSure product range, such as the revolutionary Thin Client
technology and “iThin” devices that also drives the workings of our Energy
Vault's in conjunction with the overall management system.
LiveSure's "Thin Client" TechnologyTechnology for ICT
The LiveSure Group is the first South African "Living Security" entity to offer
Governments, Cities, Municipalities, Special Economic Zones (SEZ's) Private
Households, Businesses and SOC's (State Owned Companies) a custom made
range of protection products.
LiveSure and its affiliate company, InovaSure, address the key risks that the
Nation's critical energy, water, education and ICT infrastructure is facing and
the ways in which it can help manage these risks, including how it identifies,
assesses and manages them and their potential impacts. This has resulted in the
development of unique services and products that are aimed at "ensuring" the
continued supply of energy and the concomitant stability of the education,
water, sanitation and other critical elements of a city's success.
The LiveSure “Thin Client” technology division of the Group is tasked with
developing and implementing the technology.
Besides providing ICT Security to Individuals and Businesses, LiveSure
addresses Education Security by means of the provision of the tools required to
ensure the cost effective, reliable and continued supply of learning capability to
the users of our Thin Client Technology in South Africa. This includes a program
to electrify informal housing units (shacks) as part of each Energy Vault project.
the next generation ICT by delivering:
“Thin Client” technology to the world delivered through so-called “iThin” devices; backed by open source technologies; backed by unique content and educational material through global alliances
LiveSure and InovaSure globally and collaboratively deliver solutions for and participate in:
Our Client BaseOur client base is the South African Government, State Owned
Enterprises (SOE's) Local Authorities, Special Economic Zones (SEZ's),
Corporates, Gated Communities and private individuals.
Benefits Through All Product Categories
Benefit 1
Clients generally receive Energy Security in exchange for a simplified One
Payment Service Fee per time period in an "Ensurance" / Protection Plan /
Warranty / Service Contract substituting their normal utility bill payment.
This program provides Energy Security but is masterfully engineered to create
the platform to provide the Utility Provider and the various Municipalities in
South Africa with the stored capacity and trading mechanisms needed to
prevent load-shedding or even black-outs without the loss of income.
Benefit 2
A second benefit of this innovative solution is that a constant energy supply for
providers of bulk water, provides the catalyst for them to be able to provide
Water Security, which is an even bigger risk than Energy Security. In fact, energy
has monetary and human livelihood implications with certain declared
minimums, but water is a constitutional right.
Benefit 3
A third benefit to all clients is a 24-hour uninterrupted secured power supply
(UPS) at an escalation of CPI (Consumer Price Index) instead of the unexpected
and unaffordable 14% - 17% energy price increases we have been experiencing
the past few years.
Benefit 4
A fourth benefit to all clients is that they receive ICT Security due to the
presence of our unique “Thin Client” Technology and Smart Devices which are
incorporated into all our Energy Vault's and which links all key stakeholders on a
dashboard basis.
One "PAYOR" ProgramThis program augments the requirements of Local Authorities to provide
energy to users and manage normal utility bill receipts. It also allows
them to consolidate their outstanding debt to the Utility Provider.
The One PAYOR Program not only results in debt relief (where
appropriate), but simultaneously is masterfully engineered to create the
platform to provide Local Authorities with the generated capacity and
trading mechanisms needed to prevent load-shedding or even Force
Majeure black-outs without loss of income to the Utility Provider or the
Municipalities.
Sustainable living security is our business
The InovaSure Energy Product RangeInovaSure enters into collaborative Energy Security Management and
Administration Services Agreements ("ESMA's") with selected and willing
Municipalities to, amongst other things, provide them with Energy Security and
an on-going supply of reliable energy as a Public Private Partnership (PPP)
arrangement.
Where appropriate and if required, InovaSure also provides Water and
Education Security by means of similar agreements.
The InovaSure product range consists of various "ensurance" related products
and services designed to ensure Energy and ICT Security for our client base.
The InovaSure RMEMS (Energy Vault), essentially a large UPS, is the
cornerstone to our Energy Security (and Water Security) Product as well as our
ICT and Education Security Products and services.
An installation of patent and design protected equipment and systems is
performed on the property of the relevant participating Municipalities (or
other Commercial Clients) at our own cost and on a Build Operate Transfer
(BOT) basis.
As Custodian and Manager, we operate and manage the equipment as a service
to the Municipality / Client. Generated data will be available as a management
tool to receive, meter, store, shift, shave, distribute and transmit energy, as well
as to introduce dispatch-able Renewable Energy.
We do not own, buy or sell the power that we manage on behalf of the
Municipality or clients, but rather act as an agent in the process of ensuring that
the facility and its operation is managed to its maximum capacity according to
generally accepted global Utilities Practice and ISO (International Standards
Organisation) guidelines.
The RMEMS (Energy Vault) comprises storage units (batteries) and "balance of
systems" components such as inverters, electricity management and
telecommunications devices (Smart meters) and unique “Thin Client”
Technology and related devices (our so called “iThin” devices) and the like, all of
which have been developed and successfully deployed and tested worldwide
through reputable and successful collaborators which whom InovaSure has
secured long lasting and valuable relationships.

InovaSure uses state of the art batteries as part of the Energy Vault to
store excess efficient base-load generation and energy produced off
peak. By discharging during peak hours, the Energy Vault obviates the
need for new dirty, inefficient peaking generation, and reduces carbon
emissions.
Peak-shaving and Demand Management
Benefits Provided By Collaborators
Utility Provider and Renewable Energy integration using energy time shifting
Renewables such as wind, hydro and solar are intermittent, potentially introducing instability into the Utility Provider grid and limiting their viability as a firm, dispatch-able power source.
The InovaSure RMEMS (Energy Vault), through its systems and battery storage capability as a large UPS, allows the Municipalities to achieve smooth production and time shift the energy.
The Utility Provider's (Eskom in South Africa) power, as well as Renewable Energy such as solar electricity produced during the day, can be stored and deployed into the distribution network as a stable power source at peak demand in the evenings.
The solution for MunicipalitiesTOTAL
Using its own equipment and assets, the Municipality
generates and passes on Energy to InovaSure's
Energy Vault. InovaSure acts as agent for the
Municipality along with other collaborators.
InovaSure refurbishes the existing power plants at its
own cost or builds new ones and operates them to
receive energy from the Municipality / the Utility
Provider (Eskom in South Africa) into its Energy Vault.
The Municipality receives Value Added Services from
InovaSure and its collaborators.
InovaSure provides a "one-stop shop" by managing
energy demands, assuring optimal service delivery
and reducing the risk of debt through unpaid
accounts.
Sustainable living security is our business
The solution for the Utility Provider TOTAL (Eskom in South Africa)
The Energy Vault provides electricity through
the distribution network as per usual (no grid
defection).
The Utility Provider gains access to additional
power produced by Photo-Voltaic cells and other
green energy methods at times it most needs it
(during peak).
The Utility Provider has the ability to obtain
additional energy during peak from the Energy
Va u l t b y m e a n s o f I n o v a S u r e a n d i t s
collaborators.
The Energy Vault eases the pressure on the grid -
demand management is controlled by the Energy
Vault.
InovaSure practices "Energy Time Shifting" with
its Energy Vault as a unique way to maximise
existing energy, generate extra energy and pass it
on when required.
The solution TOTAL
The Energy Vault generates income through
selling-on excess energy.
Manages the Municipalities demand for energy.
Receives and passes on energy as an agent for
the Municipality.
Accurately measures demand requirements
through Smart metering.
R
The solutionTOTAL ENERGY SECURITY
InovaSure provides all-encompassing Energy
Solutions as a form of "ensurance" through itself
and its collaborators.
InovaSure engages with Municipalities (and
Utility Providers) and the other respective role
players in the country to facilitate and manage
the receipt and passing on of energy from, for and
by the Municipality - as a trusted agent and
